A
Mobile devices have become the de facto standard for communication. Almost all adults in first world countries use one or more mobile devices for work, entertainment, and communication. This means that there are many more devices on a given network and the Internet as a whole, further establishing the fact that there are many more opportunities for hackers to gain access to personal and private information. Mobile devices come with their own ways of protecting personal resources. Describe at least four different types of network security defenses that mobile operating systems provide in order to keep personal data safeguarded. Also, answer the question of who is ultimately responsible for securing personal data: the operating system vendor, or those who own the device hosting the operating system?
B
With mobile operating system attacks on the rise, it is going to be necessary to develop new solutions to mitigate cybersecurity threats. Most solutions that exist take on the form of pre-existing solutions that were meant to be used with desktop and server type operating systems. Thus, embedded operating systems are only just now starting to see their own utilities and solutions being born out of necessity. Describe some of the tools used to protect embedded operating system assets, and add your own personal opinion of how you feel embedded operating system security should be handled in the future.

Amy Tan is an American writer whose novels examine family relationships, especially those of mothers and
daughters. She has written several bestselling novels, such as The Joy Luck Club and The Kitchen God’s Wife.
Tan has a BA and MA from San Jose State University.
Mother Tongue
by Amy Tan
I am not a scholar of English or literature. I cannot give you much more than personal
opinions on the English language and its variations in this country or others. I am a writer. And
by that definition, I am someone who has always loved language. I am fascinated by
language in daily life. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the
way it can evoke an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the
tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.
Recently, I was made keenly aware of the different Englishes I do use. I was giving a talk
to a large group of people, the same talk I had already given to half a dozen other groups. The
nature of the talk was about my writing, my life, and my book, The Joy Luck Club. The talk was
going along well enough, until I remembered one major difference that made the whole talk
sound wrong. My mother was in the room. And it was perhaps the first time she had heard me
give a lengthy speech, using the kind of English I have never used with her. I was saying things
like, “The intersection of memory upon imagination” and “There is an aspect of my fiction that
relates to thus-and-thus”—a speech filled with carefully wrought grammatical phrases, burdened,
it suddenly seemed to me, with nominalized forms, past perfect tenses, conditional phrases, all
the forms of standard English that I had learned in school and through books, the forms of
English I did not use at home with my mother.
Just last week, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I again found myself
conscious of the English I was using, the English I do use with her. We were talking about the
price of new and used furniture and I heard myself saying this: “Not waste money that way.” My
husband was with us as well, and he didn't notice any switch in my English. And then I realized
why. It’s because over the twenty years we’ve been together, I’ve often used that same kind of
English with him, and sometimes he even uses it with me. It has become our language of
intimacy, a different sort of English that relates to family talk, the language I grew up with.
So you'll have some idea of what this family talk I heard sounds like, I’ll quote what my
mother said during a recent conversation which I videotaped and then transcribed. During this
conversation, my mother was talking about a political gangster in Shanghai who had the same
last name as her family's, Du, and how the gangster in his early years wanted to be adopted by
her family, which was rich by comparison. Later, the gangster became more powerful, far richer.

as this ever happened to you? You are embroiled in an argument
about a matter that is important to you and also to an employ-
ee. After several back-and-forth exchanges, you finally say,
“Okay, then, we’ll do it your way.” You do what you can to give that
employee exactly what he is asking for, only to find out later that he is
still ticked off. You are left wondering, “What is his problem? Isn’t he
ever satisfied?”
On the other hand, you may have had another experience as well. An
employee storms into your office, upset about a policy that, as far as she
is concerned, just isn’t working. You listen. She continues talking; you
continue to listen. In the back of your mind, though, you are thinking, “I
don’t know what we can do to fix that. It is what it is … nobody else has
complained.” She keeps talking and you keep listening. Finally she looks
at you with relief and says, “Thanks for listening. I feel better. I’ll talk to
you later.” You didn’t do anything, and somehow the situation is now
okay. You are left wondering what happened.
Usually in a conflict or disagreement, as we look for an acceptable
solution, we focus on the substance of the outcome. Everyone wants

something. The conventional wisdom tells us that getting that something
means that the conflict is dissolved. Did you get what you asked for?
If so, then you are happy. If you did not get what you wanted, then
you are not happy. In the first scenario, your expectation is that, when
you finally decide on a solution, the employee will be satisfied. In the
second scenario, you do not expect the employee to leave your office
satisfied unless you take some action that is acceptable to her. But the
reality is often more complex than that. Just as important—sometimes
more important—are the other two sides of the satisfaction triangle,
shown in Figure 3-1: process satisfaction and emotional satisfaction.
Understanding all three sides of the satisfaction triangle can provide
managers with a more extensive set of tools for resolving conflicts.

The head of the Finance Office sent an urgent e-mail to therest of the members of the executive leadership team. With
only three months left in the fiscal year, the agency was facing a
serious budget crisis, a $9 million shortfall. First, the team need-

have to make hard decisions about how to reallocate funds to
cover critical needs. For three weeks, they were in and out of
meetings, gathering numbers, analyzing reports, looking for solu-

person protected his or her own department’s priorities and
looked for ways to cut back on expenditures. Keeping the goals of

Ambush Predation of Stingless Bees (Tetragoniscaangustula) b.docx
1) The ant Ectatomma tuberculatum was observed employing an ambush predation strategy on the nest guards of the stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula.
2) E. tuberculatum would stand motionless near the nest entrance in a waiting posture for periods of time, then rapidly lunge to capture hovering or standing guards that came too close.
3) Over observation periods totaling 4 hours, E. tuberculatum captured 3 prey items including 2 aerial captures of guards, representing a success rate of about 1 capture per 50 minutes spent in ambush posture.

Professor Cuadra, Tacoma Community CollegeResearch Assignment, Part 2:
Be sure to read through all of the questions, completely, before beginning your research. You don’t want to have to keep going back to the same subject. However, you may have to do that to some degree – that is one of things about research. That is why it is critical to keep track of your source.
Please research the following questions/areas for your assigned city. BE SURE TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR SOURCES. You will have to provide a list of references, and in-text citations, in submitted research. Every fact or piece of information you provide must have a citation and the full reference for that source included at the end in a reference list.
This set of research is the briefest one and should not take you too much time.
Be sure to check out the BUS 163 Library Guide on the left side of your Canvas screen and use the resources listed there to help you with your research.Income/Wages (50 points)
1. Try to find the average area salaries for:
a. Executives (this one will vary widely, and you may get a huge range. If so, just put in the range)
b. Software development engineers/software engineers
c. Accountants – you may find pay rates for a wide variety of accounting jobs. You might find information for some of these:
i. Accounts payable
ii. Accounts receivable
iii. Payroll specialists
iv. Controller
d. Human resource specialists (sometimes listed as HR managers)
e. Non-executive management positions (project managers, program managers, supervisors)
f. Administrative assistants
2. Area minimum wage (you may be surprised how low it is in some areas).
3. Overall prevailing wage – this may be hard to find. What it means is what the labor department and/or unions require to be paid. For instance, if you are doing construction work on a highway, your company has to pay you and your employees the “prevailing wage” for that work. In this area, people who pour concrete and do paving get $52/hour because that is the prevailing wage.
a. Try looking at several sources, but if you cannot find the information, just list where you looked and say you could not find it.
4. Find out the median income for your city/area.
5. Find out the average household size. It is good to check out the US Census Bureau site for this kind of information.
6. Look and see if you can find out if your city/area has required sick leave, like we do in Washington now. If so, what are the details?
7. What is the average home price in the area? What is the range of home prices?
Your information can just be bullet points for this.
Be sure to use AT LEAST three different sources. You might want to see what different information you get for any one category. If you get different information, please note that. A good practice is to look into the source for your source – where did THEY get this information. Also, check the dates and you will likely want to use the most recent informatio.

An 'American psychologist'
Robert V. Guthrie, one of the most influential and multifaceted African-American scholars of the century, wants to be remembered only as 'an American psychologist.' In an interview with the Monitor, he recollects the barriers he overcame to claim that title.
By EILEEN M. O'CONNOR
Monitor
Staff
November 2001, Vol 32, No. 10
In 1955, when Robert Guthrie, PhD, enrolled in a master's program at the University of Kentucky, he was a singular dark face against a backdrop of white.
"I remember one of my white professors eyeing me as if I were an anthropological specimen and remarking, 'You are from one of our Negro schools,'" Guthrie recalls.
His fellow white students didn't offer much support, either, he says, though he once attended a football game after a white student begged him. But when the band played "My Ol' Kentucky Home," a song that at the time included favorable portrayals of slavery, Guthrie knew he had to "get my education, then get the hell off campus."
Despite the discomfort and frustration he felt, however, Guthrie always knew he had a right to be there. That sense of confidence is what propelled him to pursue a degree in psychology when few blacks could, to go on to teach at the University of Pittsburgh, to study multicultural issues as a senior research psychologist in Washington, D.C., and to pen the now-classic tome, "Even the Rat Was White: A Historical View of Psychology."
Last spring, the National Archives of American Psychology honored Guthrie as the first African-American psychologist to deposit his papers there. Asking Guthrie to contribute was a natural choice for the archives because he has worn almost every one of psychology's hats, from research to teaching to government service, says director David Baker, PhD.
"We know almost nothing about the development of psychology at historically black colleges and universities, and only Bob Guthrie's work examines this in detail," Baker explains. "African Americans have much to be proud about their struggle against adversity, like the fact that in my lifetime they were not allowed to attend many grad schools simply because of their race. There are stories of inspiration, courage and strength, and also of anger, frustration and hurt."
First chapters
Guthrie and his twin brother were born in Chicago on Feb. 14, 1932. Weeks later, his father, a school principal, picked up the family and moved to Richmond, Ky., then to Lexington, Ky., towns in great need of teachers for African-American schools.
Growing up in the segregated South left an indelible mark on Guthrie's career outlook. "I did not think I would have an outstanding career," he says. "I was simply growing up in segregated Kentucky, and as at that time black colleges were training teachers to operate primarily in the Southern schools, I figured I might be a public school teacher. I did not know much about psychology. No one did."
He was able to attend Florida A&M University in 1948 by.
Amazon is one of the worlds most popular online retailers. The co.docx
Amazon is one of the world's most popular online retailers. The corporation provides its services on an online platform that enables many users in many parts of the world to have access to these services. Amazone company has undertaken massive investments in technology innovations. Amazone has a large base of customers who access the online service offered by the corporation. A large number of online users require that the company adopts the use of cloud computing and ERP systems in its operations.
Modern business organizations heavily rely on cloud computing technology in their operations. Cloud computing refers to the process of delivering computer services, which are on-demand from storage applications. Cloud computing happens both over the internet and also on a pay as you go basis. Companies in the modern world prefer not to have their computing infrastructure. They opt to rent access to anything from the use of applications to the storage capacity from a cloud service provider. It is costly for companies to own their cloud computing services. The Maintenace of the infrastructure is expensive too. Companies save operational expenses by renting the infrastructure.
Cloud computing enables companies to incur expenses of the only service they use, and they can pay for it only at the instance of use. The companies which engage in the provision of cloud computing services, in turn, make profits from the sale of the services to many users. (Yang et al, 2017). Cloud computing offers a wide range of services today. Through computer networking, companies can get storage space for their information and data. Cloud computing also enables networking and enhances processing power through the use of computer languages and artificial intelligence. Cloud computing also offers ideal office applications. The services do not require the users to be at the computer hardware physically. Individuals today make use of cloud computing technology.
Cloud is a term that could, in other words, mean the internet. The information stored in the cloud is information stored on the internet. There are three main models of cloud computing. The first model is the Infrastructure-as-a-service. This term refers to the units that build up the computer service that is possible to lend, such as the storage service, networking service, virtual, or even physical servers. The second model is Platform-as-a-service. The building blocks that makeup Cloud computing are in layers. The next layer up and the layer underlying is what is referred to as platform-as-a-service.
Amazon uses Enterprise resource technologies. Enterprise resource planning allows Amazon to integrate various business practices. ERP provides ideal solutions to various organizations. It will enable Amazon Corporation to optimize the use of resources with more significant innovation. Regardless of the size of the organization, ERP helps to reduce the waste of time. ERP heavily makes use of modern technology in enhan.

Wounded: Life
after the
Shooting
By
JOOYOUNG LEE
Most gunshot victims do not die. In some estimates, 80
percent live to see another day. Yet social scientists
continue to focus on gun homicide. What happens to
individuals who get shot and survive? How do they
experience life after the shooting? This article examines
how gunshot injuries transform the lives of victims. In
practical ways, gunshot injuries complicate sleeping,
eating, working, and other previously taken-for-granted
activities. These disruptions also have much larger exis
tential significance to victims. Indeed, daily experiences
with a wounded body become subjective reminders that
individuals are no longer who they used to be. Ironically,
in some interactions, being wounded becomes attrac
tive and advantageous to victims. Together, these
themes illustrate the need for more sustained ethno
graphic work on the foreground of violent crime vic
timization.
Keywords: gun violence; health; identity; injury; crime
Jooyoung Lee is an assistant professor of sociologi) at
the University of Toronto. He conducted this research
as a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health 6
Society Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. He is
currently writing two books. The first is an ethno
graphic study on the careers of aspiring rappers from
Los Angeles. The second is an ethnographic study on
the individual- and community-health effects of gun
shot victimization in Philadelphia.

1 Assignment:Economic Environment
In 2018 I worked in a soft drinks company where they adopted the recent technology in the production to increase the production rates and the accuracy of the quality of the products. After the introduction of the technology in the company, a large number of people lost their jobs since the tech replaced the labour and was cheaper than the manual production that involved individuals directly. The technological factors are one of the external factors that are increasingly affecting the business organization. The business changes relate to the presence and the development of technology.
The technology increases the supply of the products. The increase in the supply enables the company to keep up with the demand for the soft drinks. The technology enables the company to increase the productivity and the communication between the suppliers and the consumers. The company can cut down the waste as well as keep up with the demands due to technological advancement. The technology also increased the accuracy in production due to the machinery that was more accurate than the human labour and the company was able to cut down the waste again. The company reduced its expenditure in terms of the losses incurred due to poor production.
It is important to consider the environment while thinking about the strategy change. The supply and demand within the business affect organizational ability. The demand and the supply stimulate each other impacting the prices of the goods and services in the budget. The customer's interest in specific products exhausts the supply available and increases demand. The demand and supply of goods and services have a high influence in determining the prices of goods and services. The prices of the product are likely to fall if the supply keeps on growing and if the supply keeps on decreasing the prices are likely to keep on growing (Becker, 2017). However, with the market economy, the interest consumers, as well as the companies, produce limits product that matches the demand and the supply and it is used in determining the product development and production.

Although ADHD is often associated with children, this disorder is diagnosed in clients across the lifespan. While many individuals are properly diagnosed and treated during childhood, some individuals who have ADHD only present with subsyndromal evidence of the disorder. These individuals are often undiagnosed until they reach adulthood and struggle to cope with competing demands of running a household, caring for children, and maintaining employment. For this Discussion, you consider how you might assess and treat individuals presenting with ADHD.
